Pillow Case Dresses For Haiti

1.26 2010

You are probably wondering why I re-posted the pillowcase dress tutorial. This newer version is easier to print.

A reader (Hi Linda) contacted me yesterday about using the pillowcase dress tutorial for people to sew dresses and send them to Haiti.

Of course I agreed and we are looking for you to help too. If you are interested in sewing dresses for Haiti, please comment or email me at suezpetersen (at) gmail dot com.

We are still ironing out the collecting and distributing wrinkles, but I should have that information by this evening.

You can get started right now and sew some dresses for little girls in Haiti.

Thanks in advance.

   Hi,
   I love your idea for dresses for Haiti, but I can't read it very well. The light print on the light background is difficult for me to see. When I try to enlarge the page the type gets blurry. Just thought you'd want to know. (I'm old, but not THAT old.)

   I already have about 11 dresses made and am wondering where to send them.

   hey there!
   
   i recently returned from a trip to Haiti, and i was told about your blog and this post regarding the pillowcase dresses! i noticed while i was there that many of the girls were wearing pillowcase dresses. i have been traveling to Haiti for years, and have never seen them there before. i'm wondering if they are your's or your reader's??
   
   here's the link to my blog with some pictures...you can see some of the girls in the dresses:

   Love it! Going to launch in our church to collect pillow cases and then see if the girls group in the church wants to make them. I want to make them along with my three daughters either way! Love it!
